View with discretion: 40 decomposed bodies found in Anambra river

Residents
of Amansea in Awka, Anambra State woke up
yesterday morning Saturday January 19th to a horrifying sight; 40 dead bodies
floating in a River in their community. People from the community and some neighbouring ones besieged the Ezu river yesterday to catch a glimpse of the dead bodies. The river is at the boundary between Enugu and Anambra states and the dead bodies were found at the old Enugu-Onitsha road axis of the river.

The corpses whose identities were unknown, were suspected to have
been dumped in the river Friday night by unknown persons.

The
traditional ruler of Amansea said the community had never witnessed
such a gory sight before, while the Commissioner of Police in the state
said the dead bodies remained a mystery as there had been no communal clash in Enugu or Anambra where many people were killed. He said investigations are ongoing...
Meanwhile
the governor of the state, Peter Obi, has cut short his working trip
abroad to return to the state to enable him visit the scene.

The photos are quite horrifying...so view with discretion. Find it after the cut...

This is horrible! God!! Where is this nation going? Only God can help us out because things are just getting out of hand. What in Gods name happened to them? And who could be responsible for such a horrible thing like this?

Na wa o. Isn't Anambra in the East again ? I know some pple here will leave the topic in discourse n attack Igbos for barbarism n ritualism as if the victims DIDN'T kill and dumped themselves in this river.

And let no one mention OKIJA here cos that was before Christianity came to the East.

GOD almighty!! i am more than sure that this has something to do rituals /diabolic stuff…it is not possible for 40 dead bodies to be so released and it won't involve a large network of people if the police have the will and dont bow to fifth columnist they will get to the buttom of it

Isn't all those areas voodoo central. They have used these poor people to do money rituals and all u long throat bleached brazilian weave wearing girls will all be part of this blood shed albeit unknowingly. Greedy nigerians

These ppl seem to av died of fire.So the reason might not be far-fetched.'Pipe-line vandalization" perpetarted by bunkerers and one way or the other,explosion must av occurred causing lost of lives.May there souls Rest In Peace.

You peoples Hard work really pays o. No be una dey talk say your people are hard working. This is the result of christmas spending and jamboree. This is not extra judicial killings, where is the family of those people? They may not even be from anambra or enugu. They might be victims of ritualist and am very sure they are. They've finished sucking their blood and dumped them in the river. Some people said they saw gunshot wounds just to cover up their true motives. If u say they are bodies washed away from the flood, at least relations and a lot of people would have come out to say their family member was missing during the flood, in the news they said more than 30 bodies and they are still counting have been seen in the river and the river serves the whole community even to nsukka, where did they come from? And later u will say ur people are hardworking and rich. Please add by hook or by crook. Linda please post my comment. In other news a mistress from anambra strangled her man-friends 4 children in cold blood. Its in todays sun news paper.

I can bet that those bodies would be "predominantly" male corpses, as mostly men are armed robbers and cultists. My point is: they should ask SARS and MOPOL where they dump the bodies of those they gunned-down while on "special duties" . Just saying...

Stop with all these igbo people and ritual killing nonsense. NO BE ONLY IGBO PEOPLE DEY DO RITUAL. Was it not in kogi that a man used his child? And he is nt igbo. Dont say what u dont know pls. There are hardworking igbo people just like there are people from other tribes that do rituals for money too.

Shut up all u idiots calling ibos.why are u guys so backward? Anytin cud hv caused it including flood.or you ve forgotten hw the flood took over a lot of places in the east?pls I hvnt said its nt possible bt who ll kill 40pple at a time?it cud be an accident.prolly a bus fell into d river at nite.it can also be flood,or evn policemen who kill to create space in the prison cells.I pray they rest in peace.

Happy sunday guys,CALL ME THE MAYBE INVESTIGATOR OR THE MAYBE GUY.... Normally i dont bother myself to comment on blogs or websites esp linda's blog bcos of the high level of critics here....well watching CSI films,medical dectectives,and so many murder documentaries has INCREASED my alertness when dealing with ppl and has helped me Think out of the Box....yeah "Out of the BOX"...The problem with us is that sometimes maybe due to previous experiences,we pass wrong judgments which totally alters or spoils an investigation...looking at this Scenerio, I THINK THIS(MAYBE) A CASE OF "MORTUARY INAPPOPRATE DISPOSE OF BODIES THAT HAS NOT BEEN CLAIMED FOR A LONG TIME" THIS HAPPENS WHEN MOST PPLE DIE IN FAR PLACES AWAY FROM HOME,MAYBE TRAVELLERS AND ARE TAKING TO HOSPITALS WITHOUT ANYONE IDENTIFYN THEM AND AS SUCH THEY DEAD BODIES OCCUPY SPACES FOR THEIR BIZNRSS I THINK,BUT IF THIS THE CASE I THINK A MASIVE BURIAL WULD HAV BEEN THE BEST INSTEAD OF DISPOSING THEM LIKE THIS..PPL ARE MEAN SHA, ANYWAYS THATS BY THE WAY....NOTE; I ALWAYS USE MAYBE AS AM NOT SURE...NOW MY REASON OF SUGGESTING THIS IS BECOS I BELIVE THIS IS A CASE OF 40(fourty) PPL,THATS QUIT A NUMBER....THINK ABOUT IT,IF 40PPL MISS FROM A COMMUNITY OR STATE I THINK PPL WILL COMPLAIN AND PANIC...UNLESS THERE HAS BEEN A COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PPLE AND THE POLICE DINT NOT MAKE ANY AFFORT TO INVESTIGATE AND LET THE PUBLIC KNOW (THATS ANODA MAYBE) S0 LETS THINK OUT OF THE BOX AS IT HELPS WIDEN AN INVESTIGATION...NOW I KNW PPL WILL BE EXPOSED TO WHAT HAPPENS IN MOST HOSPITALS NOW.....AS FOR CRITICS WHO WILL COUNTER MY OPINION OR MY TENSES, ITS A MAYBE FROM THE MAYBE GUY....

People make a lot of noise all bordered around spirituality as against being empirical. These bodies appear burnt and just a few days ago there was a pipeline fire which killed so many people whose bodies were not found. What I expect is that people should check the source of this river in Anambra and if in any way it derives its source from the river the vandals got burnt in after the pipeline explosion. Lets be scientific in our approach to issues for once!...

40bodies just dumped like that, if it were any accident of some sort,it may hv been reported, seems more like ritual killings to me. Also the corpses in this pic do not look untampered with.May God continue to guide our footsteps.

These could be kidnapped victims, been disposed to avoid been caught. Please police should capture the facial pictures of the victims and post on their website for identification. Many of us have kidnapped victims and have not heard from the kidnappers. One could be lucky to see the remains of his/her loved ones. The security situation in Nigeria is appalling. If you have not been affected, you may not know the gravity of security collapse in this country.

Another thought that crossed my mind,am sure the bodies are from a hospital.maybe the bodies are too much is the morgue,and no one is there to claim the bodies,so they have to dispose it. its just a thought,cos I don't know how someone will do this

My friend,what is paining you?the truth that the igbos r hardworking?why the hatred?.Are u one of those unfortunate Nigerians who wished the Igbo race never existed?If you are not proud of your roots,don't drag other people into your self pity by raising unfounded accusations.Focus on being a success and quit the life of bitterness and devilish tribalism.

You are absolutely & entirely a foolish person.I'm inclined to believe u must also be a retard! Is your father or mother from Anambra state,that u 'know'they use people to appease gods? Read the blog news & shut up! Stop making such empty coments over a matter as serious as this.

Hard work indeed. U still have mouth to talk. We know u are hardworking but just as the writer said add by "hook or by crook"...... Who gives a damn if ure hardworking, its when u start acting and lying that all your so called hard work is done through honest means, that's when shits like this happen to shut ur mouths up. I bet u, they will say the corpses were from motuaries or somfin! All na lie. Thank God know be yoruba land the thing happen, we for no hear word! Please igbos should read 2chronicles 7:14.

this is very hard to look,i acknowledge tragedy and massacre are global issue at this point of life but not of this scale and unknown circumstances,can somebody please restore some sense of humanity to our beloved Nigeria.these are fathers,brothers and sons like us..rest in peace.

No be only boko haram, na boko stupid! The hausas will be killing people like that in another mans state and nobody would have found out? Or no relative would come out to talk. Abeg stop typing nonsense. Stop blaming anybody. Accept the fact that something sinister happened in that area

naija a country with 60 percent kpako police station..65 percent illitrate police men..99.9 percent of govn dont even care bout human life or human right..its a pity cause nothing will come out of this ..if this ws the western world believe u me there will be 24hrs coverage of this and they will get to root cause of this..smh

Almost two hundred n forty alleged kidnappers were caught n killed by police n SARS in Anambra state b/4 jan 2013 . N dey were all guys even 3 of my town's guy were involved . Dey were all shot dead n bathed wit acid. So how come Anambra state police ccommand claimed not to be aware. Where we're all dis boys buried?

Peace maker u are a moron. When u wanna correct someone please please please make sure u don't write anything only u can understand. What is shaking my head shakingly for u? That head must be sick. Mumu!

When next lindapost something about yorubas, you can now tell ur people that yorubas are not dirty and smeliing. I've met igbo girls who smell like hell. Its an individual thing. You people like to cause trouble and cry victim. Till we learn to respect each other, this will continue. If na yoruba do this one now, am sure u will say its a yoruba thing.

we need to improve seriously on our technology n methods of investigation...we dont even study about forensics here not to talk of havin a dept like dat...no detectives, no nuffin so we'd neva knw cos all dey can do is perform an autopsy...all we can do is pray...may deir souls rip...

Now i can sense hard feelings and justifcation among the Igbo guys on this story. This is how it feels when a group of people are stereotyped with certain vices and negativities. We should all just stop this and learn to live with ourselves in harmony, evil is a phenomenon that associates with all humans and not peculiar to any race, creed or tribe. Peace.

But even at this we never heard a case of missing people,the bodies obviously are no fresh death...and they seem to be men,some casually dressed.it is strange indeed.though I suspect they were dumped overNight(that is if the neighboring towns does not complain of missing People)...#Evil

Why must we humans always act inhuman all the time.... lord please forgive our wicked ways.If only this guys who did these knew this passage of the bible PHILIPPIANS 2:3-4 this passage also implies to you reading my comment now...

My friend that served in anambra some years back. He was told never to venture into some villages. That they still eat human beings and once they know u are not an indigene, if u do mistake and stray to their village say they go use u do ritual. Said they usually have a trap in their compound. And they cover it wiv grass, if they lure u to the compound and u match the grass, u fall inside like an animal. Then someone will rush and pour very hot boiling water on u to first skin u, then the person will be unconscious before they start cutting the body like meat. Even a lady still serving currently at abakaliki said some places she heard they still eat human flesh and they even send it to lagos for their relatives. There is no smoke wivout fire. I have been hearing that gist ever since when I was young say igbos dey chop human being not until when I saw these 2 people that told me. Confirmed

There is no justice in this country!Life means nothing and has no value. How long do we have to put up with this? When will things change? Will it ever change?We make a lot of noise when these things happen and it's supposedly a big deal and then nothing! Nothing happens! It's becoming so so tiring.

a wicked world. hey wat kinda ritualist wuld kill 40 at once.gorryyy. iv seen casses of morgue dispozin bodies that way.. if it were abroad.. samples would hv been taken from d bodies to uncover who there are and probably cause of death..and how long theyv been dead.. to prove if the were motuary drop outs....but nigeria.. all we do is talk talk talk.... talk talk talk... no action..as for these bodies.. take it or leave it nobody is ready to investigate shit.. may dey rip

Interesting how some have chosen to use bad news as a political instrument to insult the Igbo race. How do you know they were not reported missing? Do you have the records of victims of the floods that were reported missing?People like you need to grow up. Let's start having adult conversations and not let every report descend into ethnic jingoism.

king blogger ua high if u think dese sort of thigs only happen in Anambra state. i knw ur type must comment in that manner. this also goes out to u all dat think ts peculiar to Anambra....mschew. rituals happen everywhere(if dats wat it is).

This may also be the bodies that are swept away by the massive flood that took place in the eastern and the middle belt of Nigeria. As the flood is subsides now, most likely more bodies maybe coming out to the bay.Lord have mercy on us in this country oooo

Though there is no communal clash but the fulanis rearing cows in that area are very bad ooo. I served in Enugu and I know how bad those people are. If u can recall the story of one bike man that was butcher anyhow there. Those fulanis there need to be looked into. Thanks

Having read almost all comments here now let say what i believed at least if properly investigated will prove above 80% truth......some said accident victims, if so why only men in their youth age? some said they are unclaimed bodies from mortuary, if so why only men, why no single women among the 50 bodies? some said rituals, if so why non of their body parts is missing and why only youths? some said communal crash if so their will be reports? some said flood victims, if so then there must be children and women involved.........One person who was an eye witness said he visited the scene and saw that they mostly have bullet woods and some hands are tied behind their backs,.........the community said their are blood in the bridge which means they was thrown to the river through the bridge top............Judging with the whole evidence and and reports before me, I hereby conclude that the NPF (police, SARS or whatever) is strongly behind this, the police is hiding the truth,,,,,,I also believe there is true talk in the claims by MASSOB that some of the victims are their members arrested by the Police(SARS). If not the police should provide those people arrested to prove the MASSOB wrong. some post at other sites said that a kidnapper kingpin was identified among the deaths and the police denied and said he is still in detention but failed to prove that he is still alive, The police earlier said they are 19 ppl and with no bullet wounds, U see? here they tried to hide the actual number which is 50 bodies and the prove of bullet wounds from eye witnesses just to take peoples eyes away from suspecting the Police.....I think there are enough proves that police is strongly hiding the truth, only if Nigeria govt ar working with its brains but unfortunatelly they are fools in that seat seeking only their selfish interest, with time this whole story will end up without finding the real truth...........Just to make my point clear what i believed is at least 80% truth, that among the 50 dead bodies are part of MASSOB members, kidnerppers, other innocent victims and other criminals in an extrajudicial killing by the Nigeria Police Force (SARS particulary).........PROVE ME WRONG IF U HV ANY BETTER PROVE AGAINST ME.
